Controversial Issues: Their Proper Treatment.

Metcalf, Lawrence E.

Social Education, v51 n6 p442-44 Oct 1987

States that the proper treatment of issues relies upon the conversion of an interpersonal conflict into an intrapersonal one. Without such conversion, a student is prone to argue with other students and the teacher, rather than himself. Describes five types of statements useful for promoting thoughtful discussions of controversial issues. (JDH)
